Josh Jung (TEX) Under 1.5 Doubles (-1000)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The under 1.5 bet on Josh Jung in the Batter Doubles market is a sound choice based on his recent performance data. Looking at his last five games, Jung's overall and away batting averages for doubles are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively, both well below the line of 1.5. His performance against the Oakland Athletics also supports this bet, as his average for doubles in the last five games against them is 0. This implies that Jung has struggled to hit doubles against the Athletics' pitching. Furthermore, his overall and away hits averages are also relatively low, at 0.4 and 1 respectively, indicating that he is not getting on base frequently enough to have high chances of hitting more than one double. Despite his impressive hit streaks, the specific data for doubles suggests that betting under 1.5 is statistically justified.
Merrill Kelly (ARI) Over 1.5 Strikeouts (-1111)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Merrill Kelly for Over 1.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts (Alternate) market is a strong choice based on his recent performance data. Over his last five games, Kelly has averaged 4.2 strikeouts overall and 5.4 strikeouts when playing away. This is significantly higher than the line of 1.5. In addition, his performance against the Oakland Athletics is particularly noteworthy, with an average of 9 strikeouts over the last five games. Kelly also has a strong current hit streak, with 4 overall and 12 when playing away. These stats indicate a high probability of Kelly exceeding 1.5 strikeouts in the upcoming game against the Athletics. His consistent performance, especially in away games and against this specific opponent, makes this bet a compelling choice.
Kyle Higashioka (TEX) Under 1.5 Singles (-333)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Kyle Higashioka for Under 1.5 in the Batter Singles market is a strong choice, considering his recent performance data. His average for the last five overall and away games has been less than 1 (0.6 and 0.4 respectively), which is considerably lower than the betting line of 1.5. Moreover, his performance against the Oakland Athletics, the home team, has been particularly weak, with an average of only 0.6 hits per game. His hit streak, though currently at 2 overall and 3 away, is not high enough to suggest a sudden improvement in his performance. Additionally, the fact that his average hits are lower when playing away games supports the bet for under 1.5. These statistics collectively suggest that it is unlikely for Higashioka to exceed the 1.5 singles line, making this bet a solid choice.
